Toddlers & Preschoolers

I’ve always been a believer (especially for younger kids) that the age on the box is usually the most appropriate gauge for kid enjoyment.

Also, younger kids can get really excited about items that aren’t toys. This is the age when you can get new placements or a dinosaur cup and they are just as fun.

These are toys my kids all loved when they were toddlers and preschool aged.


Bathtime foam Ice Cream Maker


Matching Eggs


Alphabet Placemat


Dinosaur Tervis Cup


Mix and Match Vehicles


Toddler Puzzles


Lego Duplo Book with Blocks


Candy Land. This game is perfect for little ones!


Inflatable Bed Rail Bumper.
Ok, this isn’t a gift idea but something I LOVE for my kids. Just blow up and put under the sheets. Perfect for holiday travel!


Football puzzle


Plush Doll with Brushable Hair


Fisher-Price Little People Christmas Nativity


Food Truck


Magic Doodle Water Mat


A is for Apple. I always like to give books, I love to encourage reading, so I’ll suggest books for every age group.


Boynton Board Books. We love any board book by Sandra Boynton. They are so fun to read!

Wall Stickers

Wall Stickers always make a great stocking stuffer for kids and they’re usually not that expensive.

Construction Wall Stickers


Dinosaur Kids Wall Stickers


Unicorn Wall Stickers

5, 6, and 7 year olds

As I’ve said before, these are all toys I have purchased or own. I’ve only included ones that my kids and I love. This age group loves toys! Some of the items I recommend would also be great gifts for the older age-group.

Board Games

I have the most board games listed here in the 5, 6, 7 year old category, because this is when kids can actually start playing fun board games. But like other items I recommend, a lot of these can be bumped up an age-group.


Blokus – Shape Board Game



U.S. States Board Game. Sometimes you can get lucky and sneak something educational by your kiddos. This is one of those items. This U.S. States board game is super fun!


5 Minute Dungeon
This is our new favorite game. Everyone in our family loves it. They also have 5 minute Marvel.

5, 6, and 7 year olds


X-Shot Water gun
Best water gun ever!! It’s soo easy to fill, kids can do it on their own.


Car – You Put it Together!


Emoji Key Chains


Play-Doh Sweet Shoppe.
We are a Play-Doh family and this is our FAVORITE machine


Aqua Beads


Princess Aqua Beads


Giant Pikmi Pop


Princess Costume


Stuffed Hedgehog


Star Wars Bed Sheets
(not just Star Wars, has different styles)


Queen Watevra’s Lego Whatever Box


Peel and Press Craft


Gymnastics Mat. We have the 4X10FT mat and we love it!


Stained Glass Sticker Art


EggMazing Easter Egg Decorator. This it totaly an Easter gift, but we have fun making hard-boiled eggs and using this any time of the year.


Be Positive! Book



MORE Arts & Crafts



Learning & Technology Toys




And Don’t forget the Batteries!

8, 9, and 10 year olds

Lego

This age group is PERFECT for pretty much all lego sets (and lego knock-offs). However, I was surprised with how much lego cost when we started buying them. But they sure are fun! I’ve listed some of our favorites.

Toys for 8, 9, and 10 year olds


Crime Catchers Science Kit. I HIGHLY recommend this kit. It needs help from an adult but it is sooo much fun!


Nerf Gun.
We have this gun and it has never jammed (yet!)


Loom Bands Bracelet Making Kit

Books

I have the most books listed in the 8, 9, 10 year old category, but like other items I recommend, a lot of these can be bumped up or down an age-group.

11, 12, 13 year olds

Stuff For Grown Ups
